BotW Zora Stone Monuments: All 10 Locations and Jiahto Hints
Zora Stone Monuments in Breath of the Wild: where Jiahto is, where all 10 stone monuments are, his exact location hints, the Zora Helm clue and the Diamond reward.
Zora Stone Monuments is a side quest in Zora’s Domain in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The historian Jiahto wants to compile King Dorephan’s inscriptions into a book, but he is too old to visit them all, so he asks you to read the 10 stone monuments around the domain. They are spread along the mountain paths, lakes and highlands around Zora’s Domain; the map links below take you to each one. For the full list of side quests see the side quest list.
| Quest giver | Jiahto |
| Where | Zora’s Domain, at the monument on the floor below the throne room (Show on map) |
| Requirement | Calm Divine Beast Vah Ruta |
| Reward | Diamond |
How do you start Zora Stone Monuments?
At first Jiahto is hostile. He calls Link “The Hylian…who stole away our Lady Mipha!” and shouts “I…I cannot forgive you! Not ever!” Only after the main quest Divine Beast Vah Ruta does he change his tune: “Link… It seems that…I was wrong about you.” He then introduces himself as a historian of the Zora. For Vah Ruta itself see the Vah Ruta walkthrough.
He fears that “the 10 stone monuments outside of the domain are in the same awful condition” and asks: “I’d like you to find all 10 stone monuments around Zora’s Domain and tell me what they say.” Once you agree, he adds: “I have it on good authority that among the stone monuments, one has the location of some treasure written on it. If you happen to find said treasure, feel free to keep it.”
Where are all 10 Zora stone monuments?
Each monument is a large blue-green stone carved with a pattern and flanked by blue torches, so they are easy to spot at night. Walk up, examine it and read the text, and it counts. Monuments you read before taking the quest reportedly count as well.
The table follows the order of the inscriptions. “Jiahto’s hint” is what he says, word for word, when you tell him you cannot find a monument.
| Inscription | Jiahto’s hint | Map |
|---|---|---|
| History of the Zora, Part One: The Eternal Zora’s Domain | “Beneath the cliff south of Ralis Pond!” | Show on map |
| History of the Zora, Part Two: A Reservoir of Hope | “The northern cliff of Oren Bridge!” | Show on map |
| History of the Zora, Part Three: Miracle of the White Scale | “The west coast of Ruto Lake!” | Show on map |
| History of the Zora, Part Four: The Lightscale Trident | “Below and to the south of Luto’s Crossing!” | Show on map |
| History of the Zora, Part Five: The Sage Princess Ruto | “In the eastern grove of Zodobon Highlands!” | Show on map |
| History of the Zora, Part Six: Divine Beast Vah Ruta | “At a mountain trail west of Rutala Dam!” | Show on map |
| History of the Zora, Part Seven (worn away) | “Near the south end of the stone bridge over Ruto Lake!” | Show on map |
| History of the Zora, Addendum 1: King Dorephan Stands His Ground | “Near the peak of Ruto Mountain!” | Show on map |
| History of the Zora, Addendum 2: Prince Sidon’s Great Escape | “Near Lulu Lake!” | Show on map |
| Memoir of a Gifted Stonemason | “At the southeastern cliff of Upland Zorana!” | Show on map |
The first eight in the table sit southwest of Zora’s Domain, along the mountain path that leads up to it, so one loop along the path and around Ruto Lake picks them all up. Addendum 2 is east of the domain at Lulu Lake, and the stonemason’s memoir is north of it below the cliffs of Upland Zorana. Those two are farther out and need their own trip.
Where is the treasure on the monument?
Part Seven is badly worn. Its title reads only “The H-ro Who D-feat-d the Ly—l”. The legible part tells of a Hylian who drove off a beast that frightened the people, and says: “Th- Zora helm w-n in th-s fight i- no- north of --- in the r—ns near ---- L-ke.”
The treasure is the Zora Helm, in a treasure chest at Toto Lake north of Zora’s Domain (Show on map). It goes with the Zora Armor and Zora Greaves; see the Zora set.
What is the reward for Zora Stone Monuments?
Once all 10 are read, return to Jiahto in Zora’s Domain. He is delighted (“The history, culture, folklore, and various heroic acts of the proud Zora people… It’s all here!”) and gives you a Diamond.
If you already carry as many Diamonds as the pouch allows, he says “I suggest you somehow rid yourself of one and come back.” Free a slot and talk to him again. Diamonds sell well and upgrade the Diamond Circlet; see gem farming.
